Site updates and new additions

I recently got a little ambitious and decided to make a few changes. The most obvious is probably the post headings. I thought they blended too well with the rest of the site, and felt they should stand out a little more. So I did just that. I’ve also eliminated the 100% stretch of the post header and comment form. I don’t know why I did that, though. A matter of personal preference I suppose.

The new additions concern the portfolio section. It’s far from anything professional. It’s a quick-and-dirty approach, but I like having a space to collect a few of the sites I’ve built. That’s nothing new, but this time I’m using attachment_fu to load multiple screen shots per project. attachment_fu is awesome if you didn’t already know.

Something brand new is the photography section of the portfolio. There’s definitely nothing tricky there, I’m just pulling in some favorites from flickr (that I took, of course). I love looking at photos, even if they’re my own photos :-)

Oh, and I’m using lightbox v2 to display the screen shots and photos in the portfolio. The mootools version is slightly faster, but Rails already integrates with prototype and scriptaculous very well, so that was the route I took. As far as I know, everything looks good (and works) in all browsers (I haven’t made it to a Mac, however, but I don’t suspect any complications there).
